Intended Use
The Cup Electrodes are intended for non-invasive use with recording and monitoring equipment, (active and reference), of Electromyography (EMG), Electroencephalograph (EEG) and Evoked Potentials.
Device Description
A cutaneous electrode is an electrode that is applied directly to a patient's skin to record physiological signals. In other words cutaneous devices are used in the acquisition of signals for the purpose of monitoring and recording Electroencephalograph (EEG), Electroencephalography (EEG), and Evoked Potentials (EP) and the electroencephalographic/evoked potentials reading is a completely non-invasive procedure that can be applied repeatedly to patients, normal adults, and children with virtually no risk or limitation. The electrodes are delivered non sterile and are available in reusable and disposable versions.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a passive electrode device for signal acquisition, with no mention of AI/ML processing or analysis of the acquired signals.

No
The device is described as being used for recording and monitoring physiological signals (EMG, EEG, Evoked Potentials), which are diagnostic or monitoring functions, not therapeutic interventions.

Yes

The device is intended for recording and monitoring physiological signals (EMG, EEG, Evoked Potentials) for diagnostic purposes, rather than therapeutic intervention. Monitoring these signals directly aids in diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "cutaneous electrode" and mentions reusable and disposable versions, indicating a physical hardware component.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the electrodes are for "non-invasive use with recording and monitoring equipment... of Electromyography (EMG), Electroencephalograph (EEG) and Evoked Potentials." These are physiological signals measured directly from the body, not from samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that the electrodes are applied "directly to a patient's skin to record physiological signals."
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting substances, or providing information about a patient's health status based on in vitro analysis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is used to acquire electrical signals directly from the body's surface.

Device description:A cutaneous electrode is an electrode that is applied directly to
a patient's skin to record physiological signals. In other words
cutaneous devices are used in the acquisition of signals for the
purpose of monitoring and recording Electroencephalograph
(EEG), Electroencephalography (EEG), and Evoked
Potentials (EP) and the electroencephalographic/evoked
potentials reading is a completely non-invasive procedure that
can be applied repeatedly to patients, normal adults, and
children with virtually no risk or limitation. The electrodes are
delivered non sterile and are available in reusable and
disposable versions.
Reusable:Reusable Cup Electrodes have a disc manufactured with a
variety of materials which include: silver, Ag/AgCl, Gold
Plated. The disc is permanently adhered to a lead wire. The
insulated lead wires terminate using a molded touch proof
connector (DIN 42-802) for electrical safety. The cup
electrode may be sterilized using steam autoclave. The cup
electrodes are available in an adult version and a pediatric
version.
Disposable:These electrode are for single patient use only. Disposable
Cup Electrodes have a disc manufactured of molded ABS,
Ag/AgCl Plated. The disc is permanently adhered to a lead
wire. The insulated lead wires terminate using a molded touch
proof connector (DIN 42-802) for electrical safety.

Dear Mr. Roost:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21

CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding postmarket surveillance. please contact CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometric's (OSB's) Division of Postmarket Surveillance at 240-276-3474. For questions regarding the reporting of device adverse events (Medical Device Reporting (MDR)), please contact the Division of Surveillance Systems at 240-276-3464. You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
